catching up on some DVRed shows, I've had a few that go for 10-15 minutes with no dialog. It's an HD satellite feed [Dishnetwork], though some may have been OTA [I have an antenna tied into my system and the Dish DVR allows OTA tuning, but I usually only revert to the OTA feed if I'm DVRing 2...

I am a dedicated user of the NEAR [New England Audio Research] line [2 50-MEs, 20-M center, 2 15-M surrounds], and I have an opportunity to pick up a NEAR Boom-2 sub. But I can't find specs on the unit. I know it is passive, but I'm interested in freq response. My 50-MEs go down to 27hz and my...

What is it, like, 3 of the last 6-7 weeks? Man this is getting really old.

I purchased a pair of Bogen/NEAR A6 speakers recently. That is I thought I did, they are actually A6Ts, which is identical, only it is a '70/100v' version. Specs can be found here. http://www.bogen.com/products/pdfs/nearpdfs/A6s.pdf I had intended to use them as surrounds [I have NEAR...

Went to tune in the IRL race at Nashville on ESPN-HD. And again another SD broadcast. They have had their profile raised by Danika. They're on an HD station. NASCAR and F1 are broadcasting some beautiful footage in HD and are reaping the rewards, especially NASCAR. But these mokes continue to...

Recently, after settling in with my SACD player, got to looking through my older musical offerings for good prospects for an SACD upgrade. Came across an old tattered cassette of 'Jazz at the Pawnshop' given to me by my improv professor back in college. A light came on, "people have hailed the...

I have a PC with an AIW 8500DV. My main room, and main source of television signals, is a DishNetwork receiver. When I had a standard receiver, I used a splitter and send the signal back to the computer room through existing coax. I now have a HD receiver and the only outputs are DVI, Component...

I have an STRDA-777ES receiver and have recently purchased a DVP-NS999ES DVD/SACD player. I note that the player has internal DD and DTS decoders. I'll naturally be connecting the SACD via the 5.1 analog outputs. Does anyone know whether I'd be better served leaving decoding of DVDs to the...

I have NEAR 50MEII's, that are rated to 27 Hz. But one of my woofers [for those unfamilar, 8" aluminum allow cone] has been ridden a little hard [A CD had some near reference level 15-20 Hz spikes that nearly blew it] and I'd like to baby the bottom end a bit with bass management. I'm looking...

I've seen some humdinger prices on SACD units lately, low enough to get me wondering. I've got a lot invested in higher echelon CD and DVD players, and a 777ES receiver, but haven't made the jump to SACD yet. So the question is, how important is the build quality to SACD performance? How...

I own a pair of NEAR 50MLs. Of late I have been hearing some sibilance from my right speaker. A frequency sweep revealed distortion in the midrange. Close examination shows what appears to be a hairline rip in the foam surround of the midrange driver. For those not familiar with the 50 ML...
